Sending out e-mails as blind carbon copies

If you ever need to send out an e-mail to many recipients at once, proper e-mail etiquette states you’ll do this by sending the message as a blind carbon copy. What is a blind carbon copy? It’s a message that arrives with only the “From and Subject” headers filled in. The “To” header is blank, thus protecting the e-mail addresses of those the message was sent to.

Why is it “polite” to send blind carbon copies when sending the same message to many recipients? The main reason is to protect the e-mail addresses of those who receive the message. Many an e-mail account has been spammed because someone sent that address out in a mass mailing. Your friends, family and those who you do business with probably receive enough spam the way it is without any help from you. Also, who wants to receive a message with 50 people in the “To” header? Another reason you may want to send a blind carbon copy is if you don’t want one recipient to see that you’ve copied someone else in.

Whatever your motivations, sending a blind carbon copy is an easy thing to do. For Outlook Express users, open a new message. Then left click on the “View” button. When the “View” menu drops down, click on “All headers.” This should cause a new address line titled “Bcc” to be created. Now type in the addresses of those who need to receive the e-mail, compose the message and hit send.

Thank you for using HunTel.net!
